News: Dream job at new Gulliver's Valley in Rotherham
A Rotherham man, who can see the new Gulliver's Valley Theme Park through his bedroom window, has been named as the park's resort general manager.
And the family firm is currently recruiting for trainee managers.
Dave Brown, aged 36, from Aston, has taken up his dream job on his doorstep and is working to get Gulliver's Rother Valley ready for opening in late spring this year.
The family firm has purchased 250 acres of land from Rotherham Council adjacent to Rother Valley Country Park that was previously an area of opencast mineworkings. The first phase of the £37m resort will feature more than 50 rides and attractions in areas such as Wild West and Lost World.
Having spent the bulk of his career in a management role for McDonald's the theme park world is a new sector for Dave.
He said: "Having such an exciting development in my hometown is fantastic. Seeing the site develop and the theme park start to take shape is like a dream come true.
"The fact that Gulliver's chose Rotherham is a real testament to the council and the businesses who were so welcoming to the family company when the idea was first discussed.
"Having such a positive new business in the town is great news and the theme park will bring local jobs for local people, I'm a prime example of that!
"We are working to create a destination in Rotherham, a place where people can come for overnight stays and enjoy Gulliver’s Valley but also by developing partnerships encouraging them to explore some of the areas other gems.
"As a father with two young boys, I cannot wait for Gulliver's Valley to open, and I know that there are lots of families in our town who feel the same."
